ENGRI 1101 according to ChatGPT
Interactive webpages produced from the TeX files of the coursepack. The pages are useful for exploration, but they are not official course notes and may contain mistakes or quirks.
Use with judgment
Straight from the mouth of the beast.These pages were produced by ChatGPT from the coursepack TeX files, without manual correction. They can be helpful as interactive companions, but they should not replace lecture, homework instructions, or the official coursepack. When something looks suspicious, trust the course materials and your own reasoning first.
